Hi! It’s Mrs. Parkerson. I am so excited that you are going to be in
my class. We are going to have a great year that is full of great adventure,
lots of learning, and tons of fun. I am so excited to see what all is in
store for us. I want to know all about each and every one of you, but I am
first going to tell you a few things about me!
I was raised in Phenix City, Alabama and I am the oldest of three
children. I have a younger sister, Destin and a younger brother, Corbin. My
sister has two little girls, Hazel (2) and Mae (5 months). My brother plays
the guitar and is pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter. He has songs on
iTunes and Amazon that can be downloaded. I love my family and we are all
very close.
When I graduated from Central High School, I attended Chattahoochee
Valley Community College on a Cheerleading Scholarship. After one year
there, I transferred to Auburn University where I completed my sophomore and
junior years. WAR EAGLE! While home for break, I met my husband of 11 years
on a blind date and never returned to Auburn. I finished my degree, after
marrying Michael, at Troy University. I then received my Master’s Degree
from Walden University and am currently working on my Doctorate.
Michael and I have two children. Reese will be in Mrs. Hoskins class
and is 9 years old. Brooks will be in Mrs. DuBuois’ Class and is 8 years
old. We have 3 dogs (Tilly, Mags, and Sadie). My husband works for UPS (he
drives the “Big Brown Truck”). This will be my 8th year of teaching. I
spent 3 years in 2nd grade here at Britt David and was moved to 4th grade 4
school years ago. I am also a vendor at Front Porch of the South. I am
quite the busy bee!
I am a lover of the beach and love to get lost in a good book. I
enjoy frequenting thrift stores and flea markets in search of special
treasures. I enjoy watching American Idol and The Voice. My shopping places
of choice are Target and TJMaxx. I would wear flip flops 365 days a year if
it was in my dress code although I do love putting on my cowboy boots to
attend a country music concert. Dressing in Orange and blue are also a
favorite of mine. Saturday in Auburn on a game day is absolutely AMAZING! My
favorite drinks of choice are Diet Dr. Pepper and Coke Zero. I love anything
spicy or sour. Chocolate covered almonds and cookie cake (with lots of
icing) are my weaknesses! I believe I am addicted to Pinterest and l love
trying out new recipes and searching for cute ideas for my home and
classroom.
I am a true lover of life and love to spend time with family and
friends. I enjoy the simplicity of spending a day on the couch watching
movies in my pajama pants just as much as I love getting dressed up for a
date night. I know the words to every song that is played on Disney Channel
or Disney Radio on XM. I am the most proud when I watch my children do
well. Brooks is an amazing baseball player and Reese does well in gymnastics
and tennis. My kids keep me busy, but they make life worth living.
Mrs. Parkerson
My overall mission for this class is for each and every student to associate
success with every aspect of the curriculum. I will strive to be consistent
and to keep it creative and new. I want each child to leave this class with
confidence in themselves. My goal is for each student to truly love
knowledge and to become lifelong learners. By creating a safe, welcoming
environment and offering authentic and engaging lessons, students are placed
in a situation that is conducive to learning and success. We have a blast in
my classroom and I can promise that they will always leave with a smile and
come home with a story about that crazy Mrs. Parkerson. :)
